A suspect ran from Oxford police after witnesses identified him as the driver who crashed a Nissan Sentra into a legally-parked truck in the 600 block of South College Street, according to a police report.
The suspect ran into an open field but became hung up in some brush by the wood line, police said.
The man was searched and a set of keys and some money were found on him, but no identification, according to a police report.
The officer observed a mostly full bottle of Corona beer in the cup holder of the Sentra and the man was taken to the police department.
Once there, an automated translation device was used to question the man, who police said spoke nearly no English.
The suspect said his name was Frankie Maton and he said he was 20 years old, according to the police report.
Field sobriety tests were conducted and Maton performed poorly, according to police who said the man also refused to take a breathalyzer test.
Maton was charged and taken to the Butler County Jail.
